  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Presentations gave a very good insight into the different service lines but the networking side of the event was crucial in order to develop a greater understanding into how the daily routing of working at EY is, including the way the approach a client, gather information and present their findings.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • EY employees were keen to highlight the collaborative atmosphere at EY and gave personal examples of situations where they were able to take advantage of this culture to either work in cases that really interested them or follow different paths. This was one of the things that came across the most throughout the presentations.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Extremely useful, in my case I was able to discover a very interesting sub service line called ITRA within EY which I would never had thought to be so interesting. After the insight, I even completed an application for an internship in this sub service line.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Evidently, I was not expecting to be paid for such a short insight as we didn't even work for EY so being reimbursed for travel expenses was more than enough.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • As I said before, this was one of the most important parts of the event and one of the most useful since EY employees could give their personal views and also comment on how they progressed from university to working at EY, important for any of the people who are considering completing a graduate scheme.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Very good, I described it in the question above.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, and it they were surprisingly good considering the amount of work that EY employees have to complete. Their where different sports teams, travel opportunities and many other activities to build a good team atmosphere.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • If you are considering a job at EY, Discover EY will definitely open your eyes to many service lines which you didn't thought were interesting or relevant to your degree and actually are. Moreover, you develop a greater understanding on how to approach case studies and if you try to network, the experience will be very enjoyable.
